Geoff Arsenault at Wilser’s Room

Geoff Arsenault – Hired Hand Fredericton Album Release Show
Original swamp of Americana, Blues & New Orleans groovalations

Join us for a special night of rootsy magic as acclaimed drummer and singer-songwriter Geoff Arsenault brings his unmistakable sound to Fredericton for the local release of his brand-new record, Hired Hand.

A true road-tested artist, Geoff has toured extensively across North America, Europe, and the UK, sharing stages and studios with an incredible roster of musicians including Ray Bonneville, Matt Andersen, Rita MacNeil, Amy Helm, Alejandro Escovedo, Mary Gauthier, Colin Linden, Michael Kaeshammer, Carlos del Junco, and many more.

Known for his deep-pocket grooves and soulful songwriting, Geoff’s music lives somewhere between swampy Americana, Tex-Mex roots, and New Orleans blues — often drawing comparisons to Tony Joe White and J.J. Cale. His previous releases, Voodoo Baby Rattle and This Ain’t No Fiction, established his signature style, while Hired Hand takes things even further, featuring contributions from Glenn Patscha, Colin Linden, Joey Landreth, Amy Helm, and more.

Expect an afternoon of gritty grooves, heartfelt stories, and richly layered songs — a celebration of community, connection, and great live music.

Come help us welcome Geoff back to Fredericton and be part of this special album release event.
